@Timothy Blackman- thanks  ...get some referrals for lenders from friends / co workers ...contact them all on the same day with the same criteria and ask them any questions you have and  ask for some scenarios ...compare the  feedback and service they provide ...pick one lender to get pre approved with ,,once you have a property - contact all lenders again for pricing options for the actual loan you will need ...hopefully the lender you chose for pre approval will be competitive in their pricing ..good luck

Does anyone know of solid valid reasons you can provide TLO with to get approved for their skip tracing service? 

They say that listing your home is a beta service at the moment.

You would now be free & clear of any debt service and the expense impact of such.

Hi @Gisele Sood, there is a mix of free and paid services that can help you retrieve the data that you seek.To gather data on tenant demographics and property demand, consider these resources:Census Bureau & City Data: Offers insights into local demographics, income levels, and household types.Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com Market Insights: Check these platforms for property demand trends, popular property types, and renter data by area.AirDNA & STR Insights: If considering short-term rentals, these provide data on occupancy rates, guest demographics, and property preferences.CoStar & REIS: Paid services that provide detailed market analytics on rental demand, property types, and demographic preferences.These sources can help you understand tenant needs and property demand in your area.

WE dont want to pay for this which is very expensive service, we did not authorize it, he knew we were hiring someone, he did not want to wait for our exterminator, because it was "emergency." 

Having a good team can make a big difference in fixing up a property, avoiding hidden issues, and saving money in the long run.I recently found SureBuild Restoration – they offer a lot of home restoration services and seem pretty reputable.

I have no problem paying a reasonable fee for their services. 

I prefer to have cameras on all the time and WiFi at the property during renovation for better service and oversight, and in case of theft which happens all the time.Taxes are a big aha when you don't expect them as well.

My husband and I started our property management business about 18 months ago and absolutely love the service and peace of mind we are able to provide to clients.Percentage of income is often how people charge but this varies widely by location and also type of rental.
